MODERATE

The document transitioned from a draft House Resolution to its final enrolled version, which is the official text used for legal citation. The substantive content, including the commendations for Sheriff Michelle Woodfork and the historical context provided in the 'Whereas' clauses, remained unchanged. The primary differences are formatting adjustments and the addition of the Speaker's signature line, which are procedural requirements for a bill to become law.

TECHNICAL

The header was updated to reflect the bill's status as 'ENROLLED' rather than 'ORIGINAL', indicating it has passed all legislative stages and is ready for the Governor's signature.

The signature line for the Speaker of the House of Representatives was added on the final page, a mandatory element for enrolled bills.

The 'DIGEST' section, which provides a non-binding summary of the bill's intent, was removed as it is not part of the final legal text.

Minor formatting adjustments were made to align the text with standard enrolled bill layout conventions.
